Clap! Clap! ClapClapClap!

It seems that The Sporting News will release its All Overrated NFL Team today (link to follow when available). They name Brian Urlacher as the most overrated player in the league. Now, that's wrong. Everyone knows that Jeremy Shockey is the most overrated player in the Niffle.

Whis is true about Urlacher is that his career has never lived up to what he accomplished as a rookie. And the last few seasons were rather mediocre. That said, 2004 has been a good year for him. He's made some big plays for the first time in a while. Because of that, he gets to shed his "overrated" tag. At least for a while.

However, anyone calling Urlacher a future hall of famer deserves to be beaten into a raspberry smoothie. His reputation still exceeds his actual resume.
